"Grrmph-mmmmmm aaaah, uh, okay, so, what was that again? Wye Allenbrook on 'topoi.' Is that a native American tribe? A food? Oh - a synonym for the word 'topics.'
"OH, it's AllAnbrook... A-L-L-A, not E... nothing... nothing... stuff by other people... let's nab that article from... somebody... that looks like it says something about Wye Allenbrook and topoi...
"OH, so it needs to be Wye ***J.*** Allanbrook because I guess Wye is such a common name, just like Allanbrook...
"What a wicked thing to do to your kid... 'what's your name?' 'Wye?' And isn't that the way you write the name of the letter Y?
"Okay, now we're getting somewhere... there it is, the book that's supposed to be the greatest contribution to musicology in the past 30 years that I've never heard of... grrrmph...
"WHAT? No full-text version I can read online???
"Eisenhower stacks, yuck -- oh, WAIT, yes, there's an Amazon button - it'll be here in a couple of days.
